Right-wing media’s racist attacks and ethnic slurs directed at Indians, other South Asians, and South Asian Americans have surged over the past year, in part fueled by conservative infighting over the H-1B visa program and a handful of viral posts.Commentators in the conservative media ecosystem have used anti-Indian slurs and characterized the presence of Indian immigrants as “harmful to America.” Some of these figures allege that the U.S. is being “invaded by Indians” who “have abused the H-1B visa system in order to change America forever.” Additionally, commentators said that H-1B visas “shouldn’t even exist” and claimed that “we need a Northern wall” to prevent Indian migrants coming to the United States from Canada.

      Do tell, right-winger… which brand of reactionary politics do you bootlick for? The liberal or the fascist kind?

      Or do you need someone like me to identify it for you… as per usual?

        Boy, you come across as someone who really does a good job bringing folks into your “left” ways of thinking. I bet you are really fun at parties!

        Oh right, no one invites you to parties.

        Imagine, thinking everyone who disagrees with you is “right wing”. Does it hurt your feeling when people tell you the truth? Do you typically lash out as you have here or do you hug your teddy and cry under the covers? Bit of both?

        Truth is truth wee one. Facts are facts. Implying people are stupid when they toss actual verifiable facts your way sounds an awful lot like what Trump does to his critics, along with every other fascist. YOU are the one acting like the right-wing person in this conversation, and I think a quite typical one, where every accusation is a confession. I’m quite confident that if I tried to engage you in an actual fact-based conversation, you would bring nothing but whataboutisms and the twisted realities you have let yourself brood in.

        Henceforth, you shall be labelled “Alternative-Facts-Loving-Facist-Dolt”.

        Thank you for taking the time to respond to my post and showing how fucking unga bunga you are.
